The flick

People fluff the pillow.  Dogs flick the seat as if it was an itch that can't be satisfied.  No truer example of this is the habit the little dog exhibits before suspending his day-long nap on the floor and moving the nap to the chair.  Firm flicking does not begin to desribe the front paw movements.  Snowblowers at three-quarters speed (not quite rabbit) have turned at a more decelerated pace than this rapid-fire scratching.  The purpose is comfort, but why flicking makes the soft-chair comfortable will forever remain a mystery until dogs talk.  It's fun to watch and amusing in the meantime.
